Per capita consumption of udon noodles is higher in Kagawa than anywhere else in Japan. Sanuki udon is made from wheat dough that is thoroughly kneaded to create firm noodles. These are eaten in a variety of ways: in a savory noodle soup, served in hot water with a separate dipping sauce, chilled with a separate dip, hot with various toppings, or with a dip of plain soy sauce. As well as being a festive food, Sanuki udon is part of everyday life throughout Kagawa.
